initializing virtual controller error

When i load a station that i have been using, i get the following error message

" There was a problem when intializing the Virtual Controller

RobVCFactory.Launch failed, hr=c0040702

One or more files in the system directory is corrupt and cannot be used when launching a VC.

Select Retry to start the system again ro Cancel to remove the system."

 

Any suggestions as to what might have caused this and how to fix it. I can start the station by hitting cancel but the virtual controller doesn't load so i can't actually do much.

    Hi,

    I'm afraid your system is corrupt. The reason can be that the system is moved to another folder, or that the mediapool the system is made with is removed from the PC.
